Application filed January 4, 1917. Serial No. 140,529.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that we, FREDERICK H. LULL and EDWARD C. 'WANNER, citizens of the United States, and residents of Patchogue, in the county of Suflolk, State of New York, and of San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, respectively, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Condensers, of which the following is a specification.

()ur invention relates to distillation, as of water or other liquids, mashes and the like, and one of the main objects thereof is to provide a condenser adapted to be superposed upon an ordinary kitchen utensil, such as a teakettle, coffee pot, or other container for the matter to be distilled, and afurther object is to provide for rapid distillation by the provision of a water-jacket and means fo insuring a circulation of cooling water therethrough.

Our invention is fully described in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, said drawing illustrating one embodiment of the condenser, shown in section, arranged upon an ordinary tea-kettle, also partly in section.

Referring to the drawing, 1 represents a tea-kettle having the usual opening 2 in the top thereof adapted to be closed by a cover, not shown, and a spout 3, our condenser 4 being arranged in the opening 2 in a steamtight manner, and, when our condenser is used with a'tea-kettle or the like, a cork 5 is fitted into the spout 3 in a steam-tight manner, and the liquid or other matter to be distilled is placed in the container 1 pre vious to the insertion of the lower tapered tubular portion 6 ofthe condenser into the opening 2.

Arranged above the portion 6 and preferably integral therewith is a casing 7 joined to the portion 5 in such manner as to provide a gutterS having an outlet pipe 9,

these parts being preferably formed of copper although not necessarily, and the casing 7 is inclosed Within a jacket 10 having a port 11 in the top thereof communicating with a pipe 12, and having an opening 13 in the bottom thereof communicating with source of heat, the material being vaporized and deposited upon the inner surface of the casing 7 in the form of coiidensationand passing to the gutter 8 and outlet 9, the condensation being expedited by cool water within the water-jacket 10, and a rapid distillation results.

VVhere no water under pressure is available the funnel may be utilized to admit water to the water-jacket, a circulation being assured because of the higher level of the said funnel but, when water under pressure is available, a tube leading from the water supply may be connected with either the pipe 12 or the stand-pipe 14, the funnel being then dispensed with.

The condenser is very simple though entirely practical and, because of the lack of necessity for providing a special container 1, is comparatively inexpensive, and is of relatively great capacity because of the simple though highlyeflicient water circulating system for expediting the condensation of the vapors.

Our condenser is especially adapted for household use and may be made of different sizes and of different materials, and it may also be made to fit certain types of kitchen utensils, but we do not confine ourselves-to size, material, or shape provided, however,
